high noon manifesto

please hold me together, God
i just can't seem to hold
the needle and thread
the tape and the stapler
steady enough to do it myself

the pendulum of circumstance
swings with such furious violence
the anger the sorrow
the joy the victory
i am trapped inside its descent

i'm just stuck in this desert
with a map full of holes
the dirt and the rock
the heat and the sun
all actors in this disaster film

where are You in this place?
i can't find You anywhere
Your arms and Your eyes
Your heart and Your voice
once near, are gone from me now

but in You, i will still dare
to hope beyond this prison cage
You find and You free
You seek and You find
i know this is not my end

even here in the heat and pain
i know i will see you again
i will love You and sing
i will run to You and be
forever Your child in Your arms
